Let's take that action out of context and say you or I walk outside to find someone yelling at your wife. If I run over and knock his ass to the ground can I reasonably not expect that person to do anything aggressive in return? I obviously would not be expecting to get shot either, but I would be expecting him to get back up and retaliate in some form since I already saw him being verbally aggressive to my wife.
Both men share blame in escalating the situation. However, that by no means says that McGlockton deserved to be shot. Dreka took it to a level that it should never ave gotten to....but he didn't get there alone.

The message here is that defending people being harassed is just as bad as harassing that person.
